Better Casting Needed
They should have gotten other actresses to play 5-year-old Queen and adult Queen. Although Raven and Halle are good actresses they just didn't look like they could pass for White.
Queen was only 1/4 Black. It would have been better to get a White actress with darker features than to try to use Black actresses. They looked too Black for the role. That little baby, the one being carried around during the wedding, was perfect. Using maybe Italian or Hispanic actresses would have been better. They would have passed for White a LOT sooner than Halle ever would.
